Aggies have 3 turnovers but tied at 17 with Ole Miss

OXFORD, Miss. – The Aggies and Rebels are right back where they started – tied – with the teams in the locker room with 17 points each in a topsy-turvy contest.

A&M has three turnovers but has still hung around, in large part because the defense managed a big one of its own late in the second quarter. A&M linebacker Sean Porter hit Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace as he released a pass, and linebacker Steven Jenkins caught the short pop up and raced 37 yards for a touchdown with 42 seconds remaining in the second quarter to tie the back-and-forth contest.

Ole Miss entered the second quarter with a 10-7 lead, but A&M tied the game with a 19-yard Taylor Bertolet field goal, and then the Rebels grabbed the lead again on a 14-yard touchdown run by Wallace.

Three plays after a rare fumble by A&M receiver Ryan Swope, Jenkins raced the interception back to tie the game. The famed Aggie Band also performed at halftime, and received a standing ovation from its new SEC neighbors at Ole Miss.
